For a Reason

for a reason

today you did not get the job
nor did you get that raise
no one around you is cheering you on
nor are they welcoming you with praise

you dropped the ball at an important time
the store closed five minutes ago
you stepped in a puddle on your walk
and you forgot your tickets to the show

while all these things may seem so wrong
as if life was spiraling down
you must find that voice deep inside
that says, "get up off of that ground"

as the weather may be gloomy
maybe you've been directed the wrong way
all these things happen for a reason
and you'll find out why one day

maybe the bus you missed allows you
to meet someone you havent' seen in so long
or maybe you come across a hole in the wall
because you original directions were wrong

maybe that job you did not receive
was the job you would have hated instead
yet just know that when all feels so wrong
you must still get up out of your bed

as the day is awaiting for you to come out
as each moment has a reason to occur
as the answers of the reason behind them
will be provided to those who endure

so keep that hop in your step
take each day with a positive stride
as you have many reasons to smile
while on life's amazing, adventurous ride
